    My friend and I were craving something sweet before our evening ghost tour. Not many ice cream places that were open on a Monday. This place was open until 9 or 7pm. They have no indoor seating for. It's all outdoor. They offer gluten free options. I do wish they had dairy free but it was tasty. I tried the minty chip in a small bowl. Friend had cookie dough, which had barely any in hers. Staff is friendly and you can add different toppings. Prices range from $6-$$. They do have waffle cones if you don't want a paper bowl.

    Melt is the stop for sweet treats in Salem! The ice cream is great, service is ok, vibes are stellar. Be sure to grab a t-shirt before you go. Their cookie dough ice cream is excellent!

    Place is a good size and service is quick. The texture of the ice cream is pretty stretchy and also a bit grainy. The flavor of each was very good. The herbal tea was very subtle but helped calm my headache.

    Adorable little ice cream shop with delicious flavors. I had the Salt caramel Oreo. It wasn't too sweet and I had a nice amount in cup for a small scoop. They will be closed for the winter starting December 1st

    Delicious homemade ice cream waits for you at Melt Ice Cream. The shop is spacious with window seating, as well as a standing area with a raised table. The service was great. We got to chatting with the employee who works there and she was so friendly. She gave us some recommendations on places to check out while in town. I appreciated her hospitality. The star of the show is the ice cream. Melt offers a wide variety of flavors, as well as a rotating batch. I was very excited to try a delicious flavor called Matcha Munchie Madness. Matcha ice cream with chocolate chips, m&m's, and Kit Kats. Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Perfectly captured the Matcha flavor.

    Yum!!! I hadn't been to Melt in a few years, last time I went I wasn't a huge fan of the flavors that I got. On a whim while walking around town over the weekend, I decided to give it another shot. I tried the oatmeal cream pie (1 scoop on a sugar cone) and I was pleasantly surprised! For 1 scoop, the portion was generous and there was a ton of oatmeal cream pie chunks in the ice cream. Cute tshirts, I love the logo. The employees were also very friendly.

    My uncle lives local and so I took the chance to walk around being a tourist. As I was walking around, I wanted something sweet to eat or sip and came across this ice cream spot. The outside was cute and was on a fairly busy street. I walk inside and there was no line. I couldn't decide between the Cookie Dough or Salted Caramel w/ Brownie bites. I ended up sampling both flavors and the worker told me that their Salted Caramel was their popular flavor. I was still indecisive and ended up wanting a scoop of each in a medium cup but then last minute decided to get the Salted Caramel w/ Brownies bites in a milkshake instead. I was not disappointed as it was the perfect thing for me to sip while walking around and exploring the sites of Salem. The next time I visit my uncle here, I will definitely be back and will probably get the Cookie Dough to try something new.

    We came here to try their vegan ice cream flavors. The day we went, they had vegan coconut and vegan Oreo flavors only. We got a medium sized cup to be able to get both flavors, which cost about. $7.50. The ice cream is sweet enough without being overly sweet, which is more to my liking. The people working were nice and friendly. There were definitely people coming and going and eating on the patio, but there is one little bench and a high bar table inside. Overall, we enjoyed the ice cream and would definitely come back to try other vegan flavors.

    I love ice cream, and ice cream by any other name: gelato, frozen custard, sherbet, sorbet, you name it. I love it all. Because I love it so much, I've eaten A LOT of it in my day. This place wasn't open when we started our day in Salem BUT we kept it in mind with the thought that we could get some at the end of the day, on our way back to the train. It's along the route. This particular day was HOT and when we stopped back by, there was a little hesitation on our part: There was a long line, a sign stating that the a/c wasn't working, minimal seating due to all those reasons, and the door handle was visibly sticky from someone else's ice cream. Ew. We werent deterred, though. My friend got just a single of vanilla with sprinkles (yawn) but said it was good. I went for one of my favorites: coconut and paired it with what I think was a pineapple sorbet. I don't remember the second flavor because the coconut was, hands down, the BEST coconut ice cream I've ever had. If I have ever said some place else had the best coconut ice cream, I take it back. My friend took a sampling and said "oooh, that's good!" As I said, it was a hot day so I had to eat it fast, hence the poor pics. If you're ever in Salem and craving ice cream, go here! A little more about the place, straight from the babes' mouths and their website: the ice cream is made in-house with fresh, local ingredients. They make their waffle cones and whipped cream daily. They try to use environmentally-friendly products; the bowl was a No Tree brand which is certifiably compostable. They also have dairy free and gluten free options for the folks who need those. I appreciate all of those things, and because they served the best coconut ice cream I've had to date? 5 stars.

    Such a cute little ice cream shop with friendly service! We were unsure what we wanted and the lady working was so sweet and offered us multiple samples and advice! We all got different flavors and absolutely loved each one! Definitely give them a try!

    Ice cream was good. You can sample. Some outdoor tables available. Service was all over the place

    Atomic coffee ice cream
    Kit D.

    Waited 40 minutes in line for this delicacy, and it was well worth every minute. Amazing homemade ice cream flavors-- I got the atomic coffee and it was so unique tasting. I was honestly so surprised by the lack of dye, it was completely natural, but it tasted great. Really great addition with the ground coffee beans. Next time I'll try their Banana Nutella ice cream. Highly recommend for a sweet in Salem, but get there early as the lines get out the door!

    The ice cream is delicious- all homemade- it is a little expensive and there is no seating. But the ice cream is worth it!

    Good ice cream but I found a hair in my ice cream at the bottom of my two scoops. A little off putting.

You could sample any before you commit which I really appreciated. We got 3oz cups which definitely felt like enough because the drinking chocolate is so rich. We also got a small box of chocolate which fit 4 truffles. We got a goat cheese, top hat, horchata, and Earl Grey. All good & clearly high quality. The two young ladies working were very friendly and helpful. The decor was cute and there was seating available inside, but Essex Street is very interesting so we opted to take our drinks to go and walk outside.

I definitely want to go back and try again but my first experience there was a little lackluster. Service was really slow - but the staff recognized that and provided a free appetizer.

The food order was messed up - but the staff helped expedite service to correct it. The portions felt kind of small for the cost but with all of that said the food itself was good and I would definitely recommend it as a nice date spot, nice night out spot, etc. and like I said, hopefully I'll go back sometime soon and hopefully my experience was just an off night.
